So far I have "Panico en el transiberiano". I hope I get english dubbed voices... #monsterdon

I feel like somebody was inspired by a Bond movie intro sequence and yet somehow missed the entire point

#Monsterdon

Panic on the Transiberian Discooooooooooooo

#monsterdon #HorrorExpress

WHO LOVES YOU, BABY?

#monsterdon

We have movie sign! (Also, quite a mix of what feel like musical stings in the credits)

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

Just rebooted my laptop in time for #monsterdon

#Monsterdon ...It was a dark and stormy night...

Oh jesus the train already #Monsterdon

made a virgin version of the cocktail @JoeWynne posted here: https://mstdn.plus/@JoeWynne/112643092955152175

Me and hubs approve! #MONSTERDON TIME

💡 TURN DOWN YOUR LIGHTS 💡

#Monsterdon

WE GOT RAILROAD SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGNS

#monsterdon #HorrorExpress

Tonight was my 9 yr old son’s first Monsterdon and he had a blast. Thanks @Taweret and the #monsterdon family.

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress thanks all! That was a fun one!

@Taweret No, but when all you know how to do is autopsy, and all these bodies are piling up ... #Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

@bunnyhero I hope Alinka is okay! #monsterdon

anyway earlier today i watched a video by a japanese tourist who took an amtrak sleeper train from NYC to SF and enjoyed the scenery and the food, so tonight's #monsterdon made a good double feature of it.

@strangefour If it works for Omar Little...

#monsterdon

@randy_s Pain #monsterdon #Dune

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress so did the Protozoa it occupied grow hairy arms too‽

And just like that our #monsterdon villain appears in a comic.

#monsterdon (My thought is "a major award "since, thanks to @RamenCatholic & @evelyn we found out it says "Fragile" in Russian, which means it must be Italian)

@strangefour this was underappreciated i am just saying ^_^

#monsterdon #HorrorExpress

#monsterdon Only one mystery remains for this one- What _was_ in the box?

Thanks again to @Taweret for hosting another fantastic #monsterdon, we saw:
- Yeti'nother monster
- Telly Savales with an oral fixation (and not the sexy kind)
- Rasputin's stunt double
- Cheekbones hard enough to chisel themselves out of marble
- First reference to being smooth-brained in cinema history (probably)

@RufusJCooter Late… I see what you did there. #monsterdon

Did we miss a scene where that large fish confronted the monster and have the misfortune of staring into its fatal red eyes? #monsterdon

@Configures @jonny @moira being able to decouple cars from the train while in motion is a SAFETY feature! #HorrorExpress #Monsterdon

@bunnyhero @ranjit I *knew* you'd remember! 🤓 #Monsterdon I'm still scarred! "Let it goooo"

@jgamble Right, because having evil glowy eyes wouldn't have been enough motivation #monsterdon

@otheorange_tag @ranjit only indirectly #monsterdon

@moira @jonny Great Callback to #StrangerFromVenus #Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

@jonny @moira On some of the older trains, you sure can decouple while in motion! See also Dick Francis' *The Edge* mystery (attempted murder method). #Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

@brooke All the train station agents tired of Capt. Kazan's B.S. are secretly happy #monsterdon

@ranjit Wait, they actually tried fire?! #CanTLetItGo #Monsterdon

...which means that the russian revolution was probably instigated by yet another alien faction #monsterdon

I really thought the final scene of the film was going to feature Tsar Nicholas II talking to the priest who's like "Sickle cell anemia? I think I have something for that" *cue orange alien eyes* #Monsterdon

Pour one out for the dozens and dozens of unnamed passengers whose mangled remains now lie at the bottom of Terminus Gorge without their having bought travel insurance beforehand #monsterdon

@brooke well it has breaks now? --Dad #monsterdon

Ha! Just joshing, folks!
Thanks for watching, don't forget to tip your servers, try the veal, etc.

Thanks everybody for watching & playing along!

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

Have a great week & see y'all next sunday!

#monsterdon

@OldRustBucket "The Red Zone is for loading and unloading of space monkeys only." #Monsterdon #UnlessThatsTheWhiteZone

@Zerofactorial I wonder if some side plot about him wanting to build a ship to get the fuck back off this planet got edited out or something

#monsterdon #HorrorExpress

anyway good job team and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^

#monsterdon #HorrorExpress

That was really something, thanks as always @Taweret for organizing! #monsterdon

The monster didn't want to bring out its zombie army before cause it knew that just wouldn't be fair.

#monsterdon

@moira

#Monsterdon

We're back!

It was... okay. Crashing train ending was pretty much what I expected.

Thank you @Taweret for a truly epic #monsterdon this time. I was even able to get my spouse to see why I snicker so much on Sunday evenings! Mad kudos.

Great googly-moogly, that was a good time! Pouring one over from glass #1 to glass #2 (BECAUSE YOU DON'T WASTE WHISKEY!) for Lee, Cushing, and Savalas; 3 tremendous talents that we should have gotten to see more

I feel like the big 'takeaway' lesson this week is that, while it may take a bit longer, consider The Orient Local.
Yes, the Express is faster, but when you factor in all the deaths, you're far more likely to be late with the latter, than the former?
1/2
#monsterdon

@moira Okay, I was thinking of the crashing at the bottom of the chasm footage, which must have been pricey #monsterdon

@jsadow youtube if you have noscript configured right ^_^

#monsterdon #HorrorExpress

#Monsterdon Now to stumble in the dark for the remote so the next movie doesn't autoplay. This was weird guys. We can haz kaiju next week?

end of #monsterdon informational post: if u can see this, don't know what #monsterdon is, and don't want ur feed all cluttered with people talking about a movie you weren't watching, plz mute the hashtag rather than any of the ppl using it! more info:

Thanks for another ride on this crazy train @Taweret
#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

@Zerofactorial the unhitching scene was definitely miniatures

but I guess they coulda thrown a few old cars off a rail why not

#monsterdon #HorrorExpress

@brooke Or better yet, study it *in situ* instead of hacking it out and hauling it to the British Museum or whereever. #Monsterdon #HorrorExpress Bad archeologist, no biscuit!

The train crash doesn't even look like it used miniatures. Guess the Spanish don't play by the same rules #monsterdon

now we wait for all the people watching it with commercials lol

#monsterdon #HorrorExpress

@trixter Yes. And we use it anytime a telegram comes in that says we should. what? #monsterdon

Also holy shit it was actually Kojak! #monsterdon

If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of posts on the feed about #Monsterdon, a fediverse community movie event. See the post at the top of this thread for more info:

An abrupt ending that would make Ishiro Honda proud. That was a mess but it sure was entertaining.

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

ok idk really what happened in the whole movie because i was doing other stuff but all i know is that the russian king guy was the protagonist #monsterdon

@RufusJCooter Star trek wants a word! #monsterdon

@brooke Engineer: "Hey guys, wanna see something cool?" #monsterdon

Good to get back to movies just abruptly ending. All that closure was giving me headaches. #monsterdon #HorrorExpress

And now, a groovy end credits song. That was a great one y'all! Thanks for hosting @Taweret ! Goodnight! #monsterdon

Cursed train fall down go boom

THE END

Silly guy for not keeping his caveman on ice...no good can come from your missing link going missing!

Thanks for driving the crazy #Monsterdon train for us @Taweret !

Train wars #monsterdon

...but the future refused to change *lavos scream but it's the noise the mummy makes* #monsterdon

Zombies too? This has everything! #Monsterdon

LOL or the ever-classic Abrupt Ending™

No epilogue at all. Is the energy-monster still around but disembodied now? Can it find a new host? You gotta stick the landing, man.

See y'all next weekend!

#Monsterdon

The heroes and the uninfected all being safe at the back of the train is convenient, and seems like something you’d add after a test audience said not to kill everyone.

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

See y'all in Antartica in about 5 years.

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why they invented the bullet train. #Monsterdon

roll credits!

fun movie as always, fascinating to see a... spanish influenced siberian train alternate universe The Thing? wild. thanks again for hosting, @Taweret :3

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

One must assume that the Monster didn't jump clear. Or, not.

Well, that was an ending.

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

That was great! So many comments flying by though, I think I might have caught every one in twenty. Thanks again @Taweret for hosting. Next time, take the bus. #monsterdon #HorrorExpress

@sean If you have 10 zombies tied on one track and one evil red-eyed alien tied on the other track....

#Monsterdon

The starting credits were in English and the ending credits are in Spanish. Weird movie.
#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

@apLundell Not even with the ironclad justification of "maybe it's war?" #Monsterdon

Well I guess that worked. I hope? Movie's over.,.. UNLESS.
OMG IT WAS EARTH ALL ALONG... wait
#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

Fin. That was abrupt

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Well, that derailed the whole plot… wait, that was the end? Nobody even fucked off into the sea!

#Monsterdon Someone is going to run out of ammunition...

Oh, a sword. Carry on.

I was laughing so hard about a war on the train that I missed the crash lol but it was worth it #monsterdon

@SnoopJ @jonny passenger car sure didn't seem to have much momentum #Monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social cheers, it was fun! #monsterdon

The... not Ashtabula... Yekatrinaberg? Horror

#monsterdon #HorrorExpress

@jonny It looked like they were trying to decouple part of the train for a minute or so there, I can only assume they succeeded

#Monsterdon

Fully expecting a post-credits scene where Rasputin walks out of the flames.

TO BE CONTINUED IN: HORROR EXPRESS 1917 #Monsterdon

Are they all going to eff off to the Space Ape Galaxy now? #monsterdon

how did moscow know the train needed incinerating? how did telly know to expect satan earlier? #monsterdon

anyway: TOTAL BANGER

Remember folks, in 1972 we were still enamored of blurry pictures of earth from space... thanks everyone! What a Monsterdon. #Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

A good time and what a cast. Please those robes
#Monsterdon

Aaaaaaaaand FINI.

That was great. :D

#Monsterdon

Fin. 😆

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

i love how this movie uses facial hair to communicate where characters are on the "good/evilxlawful/chaotic" axes

#monsterdon

@jonny moscow told them to throw the train off the cliff, but the grand moff cut the last car off the end of the train so they didn't fall too

#monsterdon #HorrorExpress

@jonny there was a telegraph to derail the train and I guess "derail" means "yeet off a cliff" but I am not clear how decoupling the passenger car did not just send the protags to their deaths separately?

Momentum doesn't real in this universe I guess

#Monsterdon

And crawling. On the planet's face..#monsterdon #HorrorExpress
